W5R2 again. No pain this time!

[SeeJillRun]

After having pain on my cool down walk last time I decided to take an extra day’s rest n repeat the same run. I figured having an interval where I could see if the pain came back was better than doing a full 20 minute run. Happily the pain did not return, though my legs felt heavy despite my usual amount of hydration n I had jellylegs after the second run. Anyway, I did it n stayed pain free so onwards to the big 20 minute run on Saturday 😃

It’s not a great photo but it’s lovely to see the blossom appearing on the bushes and trees now 😊

Yay for no pain. Sounds like you chose to do exactly the right thing 👍

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Maddee_6333]

Yes, I’m very happy it didn’t reappear!

[TailChaser Graduate]

Good idea Jill, we get all sorts of twinges that come and go. It’s amazing how much you learn to listen to your body as the runs go by. Good luck for Saturday, I’m sure you’ll be fine 👍👍👍

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to TailChaser]

Thanks! I’m actually excited for Run 3, can’t quite believe I’m saying that but I am! 😂

[TailChaser Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Oooh, you’re a runner all right! Good for you! You do get a real buzz out of it once you’ve completed it 🐝😁

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to TailChaser]

It’s funny, I was walking around with a big smile earlier n caught myself wondering why. Then I realised it’s cos I was running today! 😁🏃‍♀️

[TailChaser Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Fantastic!

[DiscoRunner Graduate]

Brilliant - so good! Best of everything for Saturday’s run!

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to DiscoRunner]

Thank you! 😃

[ButtercupKid Graduate]

Well done you ⭐️ Good to be making the most of the weather !

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Thanks! My own panic moth made an appearance during my run, flittering about telling me my leg would hurt again. Happily it flew away in the interval walk.

Yes the weather was still ok, cool n a bit misty but the birds were singing to accompany me 🐦

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Lovely ! Keep squashing that moth 😄

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Always!

Great news. So glad it settled down quickly. Happy running. 🏃🏼‍♀️😀

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Wimborne]

Thanks, me too! 😊

[RunRunRun13 Graduate]

Well done ! The extra rest day must of helped you....so glad it wasn’t hurting. Did you try out any of your new running bits ? Good luck for the 20 mins run and you will be fine, I was surprised how much better it was than I thought it would be 🏃‍♀️

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

Thanks and yes, it was a relief when it didn’t hurt. I tried the running belt out today. It was just the right size for the few bits I take with me (lipsalve, inhaler, tissues, pack of emergency raisins n my house key) plus my phone. But I did find it a bit fiddly when I needed to adjust the volume on my music n wanted to take a photo so may just pop the phone in my pocket in future. If you’re not someone who faffs with your phone a lot like me then it’s spot on though 😁

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

I love the thought of emergency raisins, if I could fit a cake in that would be perfect 😂

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to RunRunRun13]

😂😂😂 They’re for if my blood sugar drops, it does that sometimes 🙄. Cake would be preferable though! 🍰

[RunRunRun13 Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

I did think that after I replied...good to be prepared (just in case).

[CatMo13 Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

What a perfect running path! Most headphones you can adjust the volume from the wire near your ear/mouth ?

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to CatMo13]

Sadly not with mine. Maybe I should invest in some that do that. I hadn’t thought of it till you mentioned it, thanks!

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Great run , good luck for wk5r3. Your photo just makes me want to run on it 😂

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks, I’m looking forward to it 😃 I love to run on it too, even more so now it’s mostly running 🏃‍♀️
